I've been looking for figures for this.
There was a report in the medical journal Lancet back in 1985 showing that cirrhosis is caused not by drinking but by eating pork and that there is some magnifying factor if the person eats pork AND drinks alcohol.
They found a population in India who don't drink alcohol due to religious restrictions, however, they eat pork pretty much every day of the week and even multiple times a day. They have children dying of cirrhosis as young as 1 year old.
But I have yet to find the actual numbers for cirrhosis for Jews.
